Activision Promises To Support Wii U In The Future

Activision Publishing boss Eric Hirshberg has confirmed that the developer and publisher will support Wii U in the future, but they are currently in no hurry to support the platform immediately. I suspect they want to see how the platform fairs before fully committing to bringing all their franchises to Wii U.

“[Wii U is] an interesting development and then they have that touch display device and you think about the kinds of things you might be able to do and – without getting into specifics – I absolutely have given it consideration and thought. We’re game developers and it’s a new piece of hardware and technology, so we’re always thinking about that stuff.”

well. it actually costs money to port games to other platforms. and seing as this is a new console with a totally new controller (with the touchscreen and everything) they’re going to need to have somewhat of a new development team to focus on it. i mean for most games people have a team for every platform. so it makes sense for them to be cautious as to whether or not they want to risk the money on porting it over on a console with mixed reactions.
